Publication number: 20230160873Abstract: A method for determining the quality of crude oil exiting a gas-oil separation plant (GOSP) is disclosed. The GOSP comprises sensors that determine process parameters of the crude oil. The method involves determining, from the process parameters, WiO-parameters that depend on the concentration of water in the crude oil (WiO), determining virtual parameters of the crude oil, determining total parameters by adding the virtual parameters to the WiO-parameters. Further, a feedback loop involves changing one or more of the total parameters, determining the quality of the crude oil exiting the GOSP, wherein when the quality is improved, the change in the one or more total parameters is maintained, and when the quality is worsened, the change in the one or more total parameters is reversed. The feedback-loop is repeated as long as the quality of the crude oil exiting the GOSP increases.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Syed Abrar Ahmed, Ashiff Khan K A, Khaled Khalifah Al-Yousef, Ahmad Hussain Al-Zubail, Fayez Kharbat
